I just got home from the supermarket and the papers said no winner until Saturday.

Certainly not a landslide, but even Boehner recognizes he got a mandate.

What do you expect from someone who was making back door deals with him?

Edit: Never mind. Just saw the Marshall quote. It does, however, seem odd that the polls got this phenomenon correct and people still refused to believe it existed.

It's also odd that Rasmussen ran large sample size polls on party identification and the results are dramatically different than the party identification results in the non-Rasmussen presidential preference polls and the actual presidential ballots. That seems to have been one of the things that led people to believe the state polls were having trouble getting a valid sample.

The biggest thing that led people believe the state polls were having trouble getting a valid sample is self deception. Are you saying that Republicans purposefully lied to only Rasmussen to make Romney look better with independents? Rasmussen was wrong because of cheap outmoded methods and their insistence at using party identification to weight their polls when in reality people change self identification all the time.

And they don't call cell phones, correct?

This is another lesson that Republicans need to learn. All the polls, as in 90% of them saying basically the same thing are not skewed, bias just because the numbers are not the ones that you want to see for your candidate.

I see that you didn't understand the point I made.

The same kind of thing happened in 2004 except in reverse so I wouldn't get too overwhelmed with pride if I were you.

BTW Florida officially called for Obama. Allen West trying to sue for a recount though legally not mandated. Lost the first round of that. Race still hasn't been called but the idiot is 2000 votes down.

"I think that there was a period of time when the Romney campaign was falling apart, people were not optimistic, nobody thought there was a chance of victory and I felt that it was my duty at that point to go out and say what I said."

-- Dick Morris, in an interview on Fox News, explaining why he predicted a landslide for Mitt Romney in the presidential election.
